Cheeky Chic is having an online crop and all the proceeds go to those involved in the OK Tornado. They have a lot of challenges that were posted on June 15 and are due on June 22. Here are some of my layouts for their challenges.

This was for a challenge based on an ad from a magazine:

This one was a scraplift from one of their guest designers:

This was based on yellow colors in a picture:

For this, they had a picture of multiple household items and we had to use at least 3. I chose the crayon, paper towel (tube) and tissue box (part you remove to use the tissues).

I'm not sure if you can read it, but the die cut says 'BRANDED.' The black paper is raised with 3D adhesive. I tried to make it look like the word was branded onto the paper, like farmers do with livestock.

15 years ago my brother broke his ankle. While I was
helping to take care of him, he asked me to make scrambled eggs. I
warned him that I can't really make eggs but he wanted them anyways.
They ended up being the worst eggs ever. He is still disturbed by it.

Last week he had knee surgery, on the same leg. I sent him this card:

Now I can honestly say I made eggs for him again, and these don't taste bad. ::snicker::

There are a lot of challenges at HIMCR today. This challenge is to make something with shimmer or sparkle.

The sponsor today is Sheri Baldi and her 'Besties' digis. I used one on this card. It's hard to see (and photograph) but 3 of the papers have a sheen. The background is a mirror type of paper, the light green has glitter and the purple has some shimmer too. This image had some coloring and I did the rest with Prismacolor Pencils. The stamp is from Scrappy Moms.

I hope you have something in your stash that shimmers. Please use it and link to HIMCR.

For today's first
challenge, to celebrate the HIMCR 100th challenge, it is a color challenge but
with a twist! Each of the Design Team has chosen a combination of colors
and you are to visit each blog, leave a comment, check out their color combos and
choose one that you want to use to participate in the color
challenge! Please be sure and let us know who combo you decided to
use! Is that as clear as mud? If you have any questions we (or at
least a couple of us) are going to be available over on the HIMCR
Facebook page to answer questions or to just chat! There are two
giveaways up to win for this challenge! One for participating in the blog
hop and the other for creating an entry using one of the team's color
combos! Here's the blog hop
list:Laurie - Hiding in My Craft RoomJennie - JenscrapstooNana - My Crafting
ChallengeAdrienne - PaperDivaScrapsDiana - My Creativity Exploded!

We all find inspiration in unexpected places. My inspiration for this card came from Amber's blog. I really like the background she has on there and it inspired me to make this card. The colors I used are grey, white and teal/light blue.

I used an EK Success punch, deco scissors, fringe scissors, Thickers and Lily Bee Design alphas. I think it turned out very elegant.

Your next stop is Kim - Stamping with Kim. And don't forget to choose use some of our colors and link your project to HIMCR.
